FALLING Forestry Commission budgets will be one of the key areas of scrutiny for the Scottish Parliament’s Rural Economy and Connectivity Committee in advance of the Scottish Government’s publishing of its draft budget for 2017-18.
Forestry is an important industry for Kintyre – timber cargos are the main source of income for the harbours at Campbeltown and Ardrishaig, along with road haulage.
The convener of the committee, Edward Mountain MSP, is calling for people in the industry to give evidence to the committee.
